Painful to watch....I want in the beta!

This small continets that take 3 minutes to fly across with pay2win sounds less and less apealling :/

You should really stop posting.

You should really be less angry about a game you don't play.

It's all so pretty!

Not that it matters of course, once everyone gets over the initial SHINY stage and organises into corps etc we'll all just turn the graphics down to 0 and sound off in order to get the best performance

[Paradox]

Ah here we are, the difficult micro transaction discussion.

"But buying power is certainly something this game is against isn't it?"

I know but watching him get mad is so funny.

Well all that did was make me envious of those with beta keys....*sigh*

[Paradox]

Yeah that didn't really tell me anything new. I enjoyed the short interviews with the players only 1 of whom knew wtf was going on. That one guy at the end "I liked the part where you get to kill guys" was amazing.

I need to hear serious discussion about the business model, the fact that no-one's talking about it makes me somewhat weary.

Like I said in this comment on the RPS forums, you'll find corporate greed everywhere not just in F2P models:

F2P just means you can take or leave a game before you've sunk more than you're willing to pay.

[Winged Nazgul]

Yeah, there's an app for that:

haven't watched it all yet. Supposedly, closed beta in a few weeks, open beta a few weeks after that, live sometime this year.

edit: also shows some of the store and stuff, along with what appears to be resource generation amounts (per minute, i'm guessing). Looks like at least some of the weapon upgrades are 750 station cash per each, which is basically $7.50, or can be purchased with ingame currency generated from PvPing called Auraxium. If the resource amounts are per minute, it would take around 30 hours of playing to get one with the map the way it was, probably a lot less if the NC wasn't getting murdered all the time :P . I assume those are somewhat higher tier upgrades though and they've unlocked a lot of basic stuff for the guys to play around with at e3.

edit again: Yeah, there are cheaper upgrades it looks like as well

Can our motto still be "Because of Hilmar!"?
